gollark: Does it? I thought it ran with basically the same "literally everything" perms as the Intel ME.
gollark: Bad?
gollark: Apparently Intel might have to outsource some of their GPU stuff, since their 7nm node is seemingly very behind schedule and they had contracts for providing some to a supercomputer project.
gollark: Intel was meant to be branching out into GPUs, except their fabrication team somehow managed to repeatedly mess up for years on end.
gollark: If you asked someone back in 2016 or so, I doubt they would have expected that AMD would be pretty much beating Intel on most fronts in CPUs.
